Final Friday February

StopLight Gallery

So we started at the beginning which is always a good place to start at the StopLight Gallery where work by Lee Shiney is on display.  Added to the 24/7 gallery are three windmill elements  as well as two works on unmounted canvas.  Stop by or better  take a nice walk by the StopLight Gallery and check out  some of his newest work.

Gallery XII

Then we headed across the street to Gallery XII where John Ellert is the featured artist with his show, "Larger Than Life".

Midwest Center For Photography

Next on the list was going to Linda K. Robinson with a retrospective at Midwest Center For Photography.

Bob Schwan Studios 

 Next to Linda K.'s is Bob Schwan's which was previewing the Palette to Palate fund raising show to benifit KETCH.  Bob sez he want to paint my picture and Him is supposed to email Bob some good photos of me...(like there are any bad ones!)

ShopKeepers Gallery

One of the most serious shows we attended tonight was at ShopKeepers Gallery where middle and high school students from across Wichita came together to address bullying.  Read the Wichita Eagle's article here.

Final Friday Art

Last night was a busy night in Wichita and we made it to several galleries.  1st on our list is one of Wichita's newest and smallest, The Aviary Gallery at Bluebird Art  where Kim Lister was the featured artist.  We also stopped by Shop Keepers Gallery and saw Lauren and the Halloween based show there.  At Gallery XII and Vinteral Gallery we saw tons of great art and people we love!

Center Gallery specializes in photography and always has a surprise or two and Bob Schwan Studios was featuring the work of Brian Hinkle who was showing a series of colored variations of the willow trees at Botanica, James Kandt's fantastic paintings and of course Bob Schwan's playful abstract dog portraits.

We wound up the evening on Commerce Street where Julia Crider was showing a combination of retrospective work as well as new works at the new In Between Gallery.  I wound up the evening at the Go Away Garage with the Scary Show and loads of my favorite people.  Him went on down the street and checked in on Curt Clonts, David Murano, Linda K. Robinson, Tanya Tandoc & Beth Golay at Diver Gallery...Him said Wow!  Him's last stop was at The Jones Gallery where him saw awesome B&W Kansas landscape photography by Mark Luterman where every framed piece was only $100. and such a steal him said.

This is where I spent the last hour or so of the Final Friday Gallery extravaganza being rocked back and forth in the arms of this purty lady.

I had a great evening and had no idea what was in store for me the next morning but it's nap time now and I'll blog about that later.

Wags!
